Kurdistan Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani said Tuesday that Kurdistan oil policy is based on constitution and there is nothing secret in it.
Among the pending issues Kurdistan has with Central Government of Baghdad is the oil issue, however, the region recently signed a deal with U.S oil major Exxon Mobil to operate in six oil-fields which then further strained the relations.

Kurdistan has maintained oil policy according to Iraqi permanent constitution to which 80% of Iraqis have voted for, stated Nechirvan Barzani in 17th Graduation Commencement of Duhok University.

“We have been asked a lot concerning Kurdish oil policy,” said the Premier, “but we have nothing secret to hide in that policy.”

He denounced the Central Government of running a political delay against Kurdistan particularly in oil and gas which increasingly aggravate the situation.

He also linked the crises to Bagdad’s non-commitment to the constitution.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has been blamed for sidelining the other Iraqi coalitions and that Kurdistan Coalition, al-Iraqiya bloc and Sadrist trend made joint efforts to unseat al-Maliki after they held a range of meetings in Erbil and Najaf.
